How could teaching a Mason Core course possibly be any different from teaching a major course? There are an array of reasons, resulting in some interesting instructional challenges. By definition, the majority of students in Mason Core courses are non-majors. What does this mean for student engagement, course content coverage, scaffolding, assignment design and even student support? This workshop focuses on the differences between teaching a major course and one with the broader learning outcomes associated with a Mason Core course. Whether this is your first time teaching a Mason Core course or you are a seasoned veteran, this workshop will help you develop new strategies for increasing student engagement and success while better managing the additional workload that often comes with teaching a general education course.

By completing this workshop in addition to other faculty development programming from the Stearns Center, you can earn the Level 1: Certified Mason Core Instructor Certification.
